We found the best review of The North Face Tigger +20 kids' sleeping bag at BackpackGearTest, where an experienced hiker tests it with two kids over several camping trips, and illustrates the review with several color photos. Backpacker and Outside magazines rarely review kids' sleeping bags, but The North Face Tigger +20 earns recommendations in both publications – though the reviews cover earlier versions that don't use the newer insulation. We also found useful owner-written reviews at two major retailer sites, Moosejaw.com and REI.com.

Parents praise The North Face Tigger +20 three-season sleeping bag for kids age three to 11 (up to 5 feet tall), saying kids love the glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls and cozy flannel lining. It's a loosely mummy-shaped bag rated down to 20 degrees F, with top-rated Climashield HL synthetic insulation that stays warm even when wet, and holds its loft over years of use. At just over two pounds, it's also lighter than most kids' sleeping bags – important if a parent will be backpacking it. For safety there are no cords or elastic near the child's head. The warranty is for one year. If you only need a sleeping bag for summer, consider the roomier L.L.Bean Flannel-Lined Camp Bag in a kids' size (*est. $40).
